People are STILL obsessing over Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lawrence being twins

In not-exactly-new internet news, some people still can’t get over how apparently similar Jennifer Lawrence looks to a young Dame Helen Mirren.

The likeness was brought up again byReddit user JIkapomycc, who posted a thread entitled ‘Helen Mirren is the Jennifer Lawrence of the Seventies’ a day ago. It’s since amassed over 1000 responses.

Back in 2013, Daily Show host Jon Stewart even pointed it out to Jennifer Lawrence herself, and since then, the internet hasn’t been able to get enough of the theory.

The Reddit thread sparked some users to go even deeper and speculate why they might be so alike.

Ready for a brain-melting? Here’s what they’be been saying…

Philip K. Dick – the SciFi writer – believed that it’s possible that time is an illusion and we are all still living in 50 AD. That’s why things seem to repeat themselves…

Well, that’s one way of explaining it…

The universe is just an infinite loop that recurs characters, ideas, beings, concepts, events. It manifests them in different ways.

Kind of like reincarnation? Wait, doesn’t that only work when someone’s dead?

If I’m not mistaken, Stephen Hawking believes that the universe is infinitely linear. Meaning that it springs into being, eventually burns out, then springs into being again. If this is truly and infinite pattern, then every thing that canexist, will exist – and has already existed and will exist again.

Stephen Hawking does indeed think the universe is linear (a continuous and ever-changing passage of time, as opposed to being cyclical, which is more of a ‘what goes around, comes around’ concept). Whether or not that means Jennifer Lawrence is Helen Mirren, we’re not sure.

There will also be an infinite number of “yous” that are a little different from you. In some versions of the universe you’ll have different hair, or different color skin, or six legs, or wings. Whatever is possible.

So somewhere in the universe is another version of Jennifer Lawrence with six legs, wings, and the face of Helen Mirren?
